Abstract
We study a model for itinerant, strongly interacting fermions where
a judicious tuning of the interactions leads to a supersymmetric Hamiltonian.
On the triangular lattice this model is known to exhibit a property called
superfrustration, which is characterized by an extensive ground state entropy.
Using a combination of numerical and analytical methods we study various
ladder geometries obtained by imposing doubly periodic boundary conditions
on the triangular lattice. We compare our results to various bounds on the
ground state degeneracy obtained in the literature. For all systems we find that
the number of ground states grows exponentially with system size. For two
of the models that we study we obtain the exact number of ground states by
solving the cohomology problem. For one of these, we find that via a sequence
of mappings the entire spectrum can be understood. It exhibits a gapped phase at
1/4 filling and a gapless phase at 1/6 filling and phase separation at intermediate
fillings. The gapless phase separates into an exponential number of sectors,
where the continuum limit of each sector is described by a superconformal field
theory.
